Broadway Box Office Report · Week Ending June 15, 2026
Book of Mormon Breaks Records,
Tony Winners Surge & Broadway Holds Steady
at $38.56 Million
Broadway’s box office held steady in the week ending June 15, 2026 — and we have one show to largely thank for it. Thirty-nine productions collectively brought in $38,561,313, a modest increase over the prior week’s $38,224,380, even as one fewer show was running. The story of the week is unmistakably The Book of Mormon, which posted the most extraordinary single-week box office result of its entire 15-year run. But the first-ever post-Tony Awards data is also in, and Broadway’s newest winners are already starting to feel the love.
The Story of the Week: Book of Mormon Makes History
The Tony-winning musical celebrated its 15th anniversary with a “Magical Mormon Mystery Week” that included onstage cameos from the musical’s original cast, including Josh Gad, Andrew Rannells, and Nikki M. James. The result was staggering. An eye-popping average ticket price of $264.93 — and that’s at 99.07%-full houses — saw the show bringing in $2.24 million last week, far and away the highest of any show on Broadway.
To put that in perspective, the runner-up for the week’s biggest gross increase was Giant at the Music Box Theatre, which posted a gain of $280,527 over the prior week — not a small number, but practically invisible next to Mormon‘s seven-figure anniversary explosion. This anniversary campaign — along with some free press thanks to a fire that shuttered performances for three weeks — seems to have really reinvigorated ticket sales. Whether that momentum carries on beyond the birthday festivities is the question everyone on Broadway will be watching closely.
Playbill · Logan Culwell-Block · June 16, 2026
“It’s almost comical to compare Book of Mormon’s gains last week to any other show. The runner up went to Giant at the Music Box, which saw a total that was $280,527 higher than the week prior — and to be clear, both of those are notable. It’s only the coincidence of timing that they pale in comparison to Mormon’s seven-figure increase.”
The Book of Mormon opened to critical acclaim and multiple Tony Awards in 2011. As is generally the case unless you’re The Lion King, the box office at the Eugene O’Neill has softened in the years since its debut, with it becoming far less likely to see the musical in one of Broadway’s top-five spots of the highest grossers. This anniversary week has emphatically reminded New York — and the industry — that the show still has enormous star power when it wants to deploy it.

Tony Winners: First Week of Post-Awards Data
This was the first week of box office data reflecting post-Tony Awards ticket sales — and the early picture is one of cautious optimism rather than an immediate explosion. Best Musical winner Schmigadoon! saw a $178,868 increase, and Best Revival of a Musical winner Ragtime went up by $133,220. Both of those gains are nothing to scoff at, but, together with Giant, they’re the only 2026 Tony-winning shows that saw increases in six figures or above.
The Tony Awards’ intended impact involves more tourists buying tickets for performances further away on the calendar. All will certainly be looking for those gains to increase in the weeks ahead. Historically, the biggest Tony bounce arrives in the weeks after the ceremony, not the immediate days following, as the press coverage and social media attention percolates through the wider public consciousness and drives advance sales. Producers and theatre owners will be watching the numbers closely over the next two to three weeks.
Death of a Salesman, the Tony Award winner for Best Revival of a Play, continues its extraordinary run at the Winter Garden Theatre, playing to over 100% capacity — a figure that reflects standing room only sales — and grossing $1.78 million for the week, placing it fourth overall despite a very slight week-on-week dip. It remains one of the strongest plays in recent Broadway memory.
Oh, Mary! — Broadway’s Hottest Ticket Continues
Oh, Mary!‘s grosses last week just barely missed making Broadway’s top five, a distinction it likely only missed out on due to Mormon‘s outsized birthday week. With Maya Rudolph of Saturday Night Live fame leading the cast, the Cole Escola-written comedy is commanding remarkable prices — an average ticket of $213.38 with a top ticket of $575 — and filling 99.76% of the Lyceum Theatre’s seats each week.
The show is a remarkable story. Cole Escola’s absurdist comedy about Mary Todd Lincoln had already proven itself a word-of-mouth phenomenon during its initial Off-Broadway run and its first Broadway outing, but the addition of a marquee name like Rudolph has taken it to an entirely new commercial stratosphere. It now sits comfortably among Broadway’s most commercially successful productions on any given week, a position that would have seemed almost impossible to predict when the show was being developed.
Shows to Watch: Closings and Concerns
Chess — Final Weeks
Chess closes on June 21, 2026, at the Imperial Theatre after a well-received revival run. The show posted a strong final full week, grossing $1.37 million at 96.72% capacity — a respectable send-off for a production that had earned considerable critical affection. The closing of Chess is the primary reason Broadway drops from 40 to 39 shows this reporting period.
The Balusters and Celebrity Autobiography
At the bottom of the table, Celebrity Autobiography at the Sam S. Shubert Theatre posted a gross of just $81,264 at 26.61% capacity — the lowest figures on Broadway by a significant margin, with an average ticket of just $33.85. Meanwhile The Balusters at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre earned $270,193 at 72.11% capacity, a drop of $90,186 from the prior week. Both productions will face scrutiny from their producers in the weeks ahead.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
The wizarding world show at the Lyric Theatre experienced the week’s most notable single-show decline in dollar terms, falling $178,724 from the prior week to land at $1.39 million. Tom Felton’s return from vacation had given Harry Potter a magic boost the previous week, and this week represents the correction from that celebrity-driven spike, now settling back toward its established weekly range.
Broader Context: Where Does Broadway Stand in June 2026?
This week’s total of $38,561,313 compares to $39,204,872 for the equivalent week in June 2025 — a decline of approximately 1.6% year-on-year. While that is not alarming given the different composition of shows running in each year, it is a reminder that Broadway’s post-pandemic recovery, while strong, is not without its soft patches.
The average ticket price of $127.95 is up from $125.12 for the equivalent week in June 2025 — a 2.3% year-on-year increase that reflects the industry’s continued upward pressure on pricing as it seeks to grow revenue even when attendance numbers fluctuate. Attendance of 301,384 compares to 313,343 for the same week in June 2025, a decline of around 3.8%.
Looking at the broader season picture, Broadway has continued to demonstrate that celebrity casting and anniversary events can dramatically move the box office needle in either direction. The Book of Mormon anniversary week is the clearest example this season of a production engineering a box office moment — and it worked spectacularly. As the summer tourist season ramps up, producers across the Main Stem will be watching to see whether the traditionally lucrative July and August period can push the seasonal total into record territory.
Broadway is also preparing for a number of significant new arrivals in the 2026-27 season, including productions starring Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell in Much Ado About Nothing (November 2026), Rachel Zegler in Evita (March 2027), and the long-awaited Broadway transfer of the Olivier Award-winning Paddington the Musical (April 2027). Anticipation for these productions is likely already contributing to background levels of tourism planning that will eventually translate into future box office figures.
